FOSTERING INTRINSIC MOTIVATION: THE ROLE OF SDT AND TAM THEORY IN SHAPING BEHAVIORAL INTENTIONS FOR SUSTAINABLE RECRUITMENT

Abstract

The study aims at analyzing the direct and indirect effects of intrinsic motivation, perceived ease of use, and behavioral intention on the 270 employees of eco-oriented startups in Bali. This study was conducted based on research gaps, namely: 1) the limitations of research that emphasizes intrinsic motivation in the behavioral intention of using recruitment games; and 2) the lack of studies that enrich the combination of SDT and TAM theory. The data were collected using a questionnaire, and SmartPLS was used to analyze the results. The results showed that: 1) Intrinsic motivation has a significant positive relationship to perceived ease of use; 2) Perceived ease of use has a significant positive relationship to behavioral intention; 3) Perceived ease of use mediates intrinsic motivation and behavioral intention; and 4) Intrinsic motivation has a significant positive relationship to behavioral intention.
